Enzymes
 Examples of proteins
 Job is to catalyze a reaction
 Temperature, pH, substrate/enzyme concentration
 Active site of enzyme matches up with substrate shape
 Breakdown of food (example: break down of lactose by
lactase); Cell respiration; DNA Replication
Basic Information
 Homeostasis: maintaining a constant environment
 Temperature, pH, amount of sugar
 Water- helps provide homeostasis in the body; absorbs water
soluble substances; excretion of wastes; osmotic balance
 Cells regulate the flow of molecules in and out of the cell
using the CELL MEMBRANE
 DIFFUSION is the process that moves solutes from high
concentration to low concentration.
 OSMOSIS is the process that moves water from hypotonic
(low solute/high water) areas to hypertonic (high solute/low
water) areas
 ACTIVE TRANSPORT is a process that requires energy to
move charged ions through the membrane.
Membrane’s Function
 It is selectively permeable so it only allows certain things to
enter and exit the cell
 Once inside the cell different molecules can be used for
different purposes.
 Sugars are used by the cell for cell respiration
 Proteins are broken down into subunits called amino acids
and used to build new proteins
Cells….
 Cells are made of many small structures called ORGANELLES each of which
has a specific job. List several jobs performed by the parts of the cells:
 Make proteins (ribosomes); transport (ER); storage (vacuole)
 When do Cells divide? During mitosis
 How do cells ensure that the new cells will have all the same information that
the old cells do?
 S PHASE OF INTERPHASE REPLICATES DNA SO A COPY OF DNA
WILL GO INTO THE NEW CELL
 If each cell has an identical copy of the DNA, how do we get specialized cells
that are different like liver cells, lung cells and skin cells?
 Same DNA but has access to different proteins
 The process by which cells become specialized is called
DIFFERENTIATION
 What happens between each cell division to prevent cells from
becoming smaller and smaller?
 INTERPHASE SO CELL GROWS DURING G1
 After fertilization, what happens to the zygote (the fertilized egg)?
 GOES THROUGH CLEAVAGE
 What causes the individual cells in the embryo to differentiate?
 CHEMICALS WITHIN THE GENES HAVE ON/OFF SIGNALS
MITOSIS
MEIOSIS
AUTOSOMES/BODY CELLS
SEX CELLS
DIPLOID
HAPLOID
ONE DIVISION
TWO DIVISION

SYMBOLIZED AS N
 Body cells or autosomes have two times the amount of
chromosomes than sex cells.
 Example: sperm/egg cell has 23 chromosomes while body cells have
46 chromosomes
 Mistakes during mitosis and meiosis lead to different
problems.
 Which one is more likely to lead to a defect in the entire body of an
organism?
 Meiosis
 Which one is more likely to lead to a defect in a single body
part?
 Mitosis
•:
 Mutations: change in a DNA sequence
 Causes: UV light, Cancer, Smoking
 Pathogens: anything that causes a disease
 Causes: viruses like influenza, mumps
